LED options
Hi folks. My father bought an 04? Z4. One of his turn signal bulbs burned out. I'm trying to find LED replacements for him.
The lense looks like this, with 2 bulbs per side: I found on JSLEVI these: https://jlevisw.com/Accessories-for-...al-Bulbs/#tabs I don't see "front" explicitly listed. Any thoughts on where I can get these things? |

Front turn signals are H21W with base BAY9s.
There's lots of LEDs on eBay, but 2 potential problems: 1) They may not fit physically. The LED bulbs are usually longer and may also be fatter. I bought some for my "panic" brake lights, but I didn't have the guts to try and jamb them in the front turn signals. I was afraid they would break something or get stuck. 2) You'll get a bulb-out warning. I don't know if anybody's figured out how to code those off. You could add a parallel resistor, which is what I did for my panic brake lights. Those are the only external lights I haven't replaced with LEDs, due to potential problem #1 above. You solve that one, and I'll figure out #2.

Excellent! I've been waiting years for somebody else to go first.
Those are a smidge bigger than the ones I've been considering, so if those fit, I know these will fit. They're what I have in my panic brake lights and they're ferociously bright.
